Lily Allen's got a new tattoo and shhh... it's the same as Rihanna's
on 19th February 2009
Lily Allen shared a secret with her fans today - a brand new tattoo that reads Shhh... across her index finger.
The pop star, who is currently in the U.S. promoting her new album It's Not Me, It's You, posted a photograph of the new ink on Twitter, a micro-blogging website.
While some praised her new tattoo, other eagle-eyed followers were quick to point out they'd seen it somewhere before.
Chart-topper Rihanna has the same scrawling on her finger.

She had it first: Pop star Rihanna
Lily got her new body art at 2am this morning, after a night out partying with Lindsay Lohan.
According to American celebrity blogger Perez Hilton the two each got a tattoo at Shamrock Tattoos in West Hollywood.
It seems an uncharacteristic move for Lily, who usually prides herself on her originality.
But it seemed to be the day for copycat behaviour - just hours earlier she performed a rendition of Britney Spears' hit Womanizer on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She took part in the 'Ellen's Bathroom Concert Series' skit, where stars join the host in singing a pop tune in a small studio bathroom.
The 23-year-old is no stranger to the hit track - she got into hot water with executives at EMI Music Group after her unauthorized cover version leaked on to the internet back in December.

Lily also performed her single The Fear during the show as part of her promotional blitz of the States.
Next up she is rumoured to be making an appearance on Oprah.
Lily is also gearing up for a sold-out North American tour that kicks off in April.
